Spouses of leaders from several countries also took part in
the inauguration of the museum in Antalya on the sidelines of the 31st UN Climate

The Zero Waste Museum showcases various methods and
initiatives for reducing waste, promoting recycling and protecting the
environment. Its main aim is to cut plastic pollution, encourage the reuse of
materials and inspire people to adopt eco-friendly lifestyles.
The Zero Waste movement was launched in Turkey in 2017 at
the initiative of Emine Erdogan. It seeks to ensure a sustainable environment
by reducing waste generation, increasing recycling and conserving natural
resources.
Zubaida Rahman arrived in Antalya on Tuesday with Prime
Minister Tarique Rahman to attend COP31. During the visit, she took part in a
number of programmes organised on the sidelines of the climate summit.
